Re: package installs

| I have downloaded from an FTP site, a couple of .deb files that i want to
| install on my
| debian package. when i use the dpackage command, and i advise that i have
| these files on floppy discs, it finds my .deb files and has them as
| dselected, therefore it will not install them. this appears to be because
| they are not on the default list of packages that were installed with my
| debian package, I have ordered the CD rom for debian, which should have all
| the .deb packages on it, but i am not sure i can get my CD-rob to be read by
| debian. I would like to first install the packages from floppy if i can get
| it to let me.
| Does anyone have any suggestions?
Do the floppies have the ext2 file system, MSDOS or have you written
a raw tar file to them (or something else)?
If you haven't got a clue what I'm talking about, tell us how you
created them, and we'll figure it out.
If ext2: mount the floppy and read the debs
If msdos: use mtools
If raw tar: use tar :-)
| Also i have a barebones debian package right now (with just basic debian and
| linux stuff), and i am an avid AIX user. I noticed alot of commands are the
| same and alot are different. For instance on AIX, i can scroll a list of
| files in a directory by typing
| ls -l | pg (the one page at a time command)...how can i get accomplish this
| on linux?
'ls -l | more' or even better 'ls -l | less'
